Mine for Now

Ron Noble, the hero

Twenty years ago, fire fighter Ron Noble’s father died while rescuing a ten-year-old girl from a fire at Carlyle House. But the heroic deed was shadowed by rumors that he’d started that fire and a few more before it.

Now, Ron receives new evidence that could clear his father’s name, and the one person who can confirm it is the girl his father had rescued. Unfortunately, the girl has become a beautiful temptress who is determined to make things very difficult for him.

Ashley Satchel, the heroine

Ashley Satchel is finally going to fulfill her parent’s dream of starting a commune for artists. She can’t believe her luck when Carlyle House, the very house her parents had chosen, is up for sale. Then she learns that the son of the owner of Carlyle House refuses to sell it to her unless she helps him solve the mystery of what happened the night of the fire. Ashley does not intend to revisit that traumatic event, until she learns that the fire was started to cover up the murders of her parents.

Unaware of Ron’s true motive, Ashley joins forces with Ron in an effort to find her parents’ killers. But the two soon find themselves against a foe hell-bent on silencing anyone who was at Carlyle House the night of the fire.

With the body count on the rise and shocking revelations at every turn, it takes these two a near-death experience for them to realize that believing in each other is more important than events from the past.
